Lenin Of The Rovers

Radio 4
Series One 1988
Series Two 1989 (?)

This series, written by Marcus Berkmann and Harry Thompson, was set in the bizarre world of Felchester Rovers, Britain’s one and only all-communist football team.  Alexei Sayle starred as midfield maestro Ricky Lenin; among his team-mates were Stevie Stalin (Andrew McClean) and Terry Trotsky (Keith Allen).  Kenneth Wolstenholme, the ex-football commentator, made regular appearances as his fictional counterpart, Frank Lee Brian.
